NBDHE Pharmacology All Answers Correct
- Potency is related to: The dose of a drug. Potency is greater when a smaller dose produces the same
effect as a larger dose of another drug.
- Efficacy is: The maximum response that a drug can produce regardless of dose.
- First pass effect: This occurs when orally administered drugs pass through the liver before reaching
systemic circulation, where they may be partially metabolized or degraded, reducing their effectiveness
unless higher doses are administered.
- Drug administration route for protein products: Subcutaneous injection is commonly used to deliver
protein products.
- TB skin test administration route: The TB skin test is administered intradermally.
- Pharmacokinetics: It is the study of how drugs enter the body, circulate within the body, and are
eliminated from the body.
- Organ involved in absorption of oral drugs: The small intestine is primarily responsible for the
absorption of orally administered drugs.
- Most important site for drug metabolism: The liver is the most important organ for drug metabolism.
- Most important organ for drug excretion: The kidneys are crucial for excreting drugs and their
metabolites from the body.
- Termination of drug effects: Drug effects are terminated primarily through elimination from the body.
- Steps bypassed by intravascular drugs: Intravascular drugs bypass absorption and the first pass effect.
,- Drugs that move across biological membranes by diffusion: Lipid-soluble drugs are known to move
across biological membranes by diffusion.
- Metabolism is also known as: Bio-transformation refers to the metabolic processes that modify drugs
in the body.
- Side effects: These are dose-related reactions that are not part of the desired therapeutic action of a
drug.
